Since it happened I had nothin' to sayIt used to bother them but now it's OKMother cleans his dreadful house every dayScrubbing all the stains that won't go away

They sent me away to the school in the parkThey said it would be good for meI still hear the other kids cry in the dark

Alone again in the lap of luxuryIs there no escape

I don't remember the last time I criedI don't remember much except liesSee the little girl spirallin' downThis is a photograph of who she is now

"One day this will all be yours" he saidTidy your room and straight to bedTidy up those thoughts in your head

Alone again in the lap of luxury

I could be anywhere right nowIf I only had the nerve to leave this houseMaybe somewhere by the sea ...Take me somewhere, anywhere please!

We could make a pillow of sand and sleepWe could rollWe could makeWe could seeWe could screamFarFatherFarthestOh daddy ...You do not do anymore ...For God's sake don't pretend to be concerned ...Turn into nightmares in the endThrow a party for all my friendsAlone again in the lap of luxury
